What am I doing wrong this time with Moq?

Question

Hi

I am having problems with moq again and not sure what I did wrong this time.

So I am going through the debugger step by step and I notice even though in my Mock I set

ResetPassword to return "hey it does not seem to

Here is part of my unit test:

var membershipMock = new Mock<MembershipProvider>();



           var user = new Mock<MembershipUser>();

           user.SetupGet(x => x.Email).Returns("Email");
           user.Setup(x => x.ResetPassword("test")).Returns("hey");

           membershipMock.Setup(m => m.GetUser("chobo2", false)).Returns(user.Object);



           authentication.Authenticate.Provider = membershipMock.Object;

           // Act

           var actual = authentication.PasswordRecoveryStep2("chobo2","2z");

My code

  MembershipUser userName = Provider.GetUser(user, false);

                string newPassword = userName.ResetPassword(securityAnswer);

 Mail.To = userName.Email;

Provider is a property that gets set with the mockup object as you and see. The email part gets filled fine. Just ResetPassword does not return what it should. It just give me null.

Thanks

If "2z" is your security answer Moq will not return "hey" as it's setup to only return "hey" for string inputs that match "test". The following works perfectly for me:

public class AuthenticationHelper {
    readonly MembershipProvider _provider;

    public AuthenticationHelper(MembershipProvider provider) {
        _provider = provider;
    }

    public string PasswordRecoveryStep2(string userName, string recoveryAnswer) {
        MembershipUser user = _provider.GetUser(userName, false);
        string newPassword = user.ResetPassword(recoveryAnswer);
        return newPassword;
    }
}

Which passes the following test...

[TestFixture]
public class AuthHelperTests {
    Mock<MembershipProvider> memberShipProvider;
    Mock<MembershipUser> user;

    [SetUp]
    public void Init() {
        memberShipProvider = new Mock<MembershipProvider>();
        user = new Mock<MembershipUser>();
        user.SetupGet(u => u.Email)
            .Returns("[email protected]");
        user.Setup(u => u.ResetPassword("secret"))
            .Returns("test2");
        memberShipProvider
            .Setup(prov => prov.GetUser("test", false))
            .Returns(user.Object);
    }

    [Test]
    public void WillResetPasswordByCallingProvider() {
        var helper = new AuthenticationHelper(memberShipProvider.Object);
        string newPassword = helper.PasswordRecoveryStep2("test", "secret");
        Assert.AreEqual("test2", newPassword);
        memberShipProvider.Verify(p => p.GetUser("test", false));
        user.Verify(u => u.ResetPassword("secret"));
    }
}
